⚡ Why Out of Contract Rates Cost You More
Out of contract pricing exists to protect the supplier, not the customer. These rates are typically much higher than any standard fixed-term deal available on the market. If you're on extended supply with EDF:
- You're likely paying 40% to 70% more than necessary
- Charges include network region-based standing charges, time-of-use rates, and capacity costs (HH customers)
- The longer you remain out of contract, the more unnecessary costs you rack up
Avoid being caught out — securing a new contract is quick, easy, and can save your business thousands of pounds annually.
